It rained today so we decided we needed some fresh air. I had some thoughts on what would be a good idea but Wren and Flynt decided that what we really needed to do was to stomp in puddles. Sooo... that's what we did.
There are a couple of big puddles that also get quite filthy in our cul de sac that my kids love to splash in. They just kept going back and forth in the puddles and got completely soaked and filthy. I had them strip off in the garage and rinsed their clothes out in the laundry tub. It was a 2 outfit day.
In the afternoon we decided to make some musical instruments. I had some heavy duty tubes left over from a roll of aluminum foil and one from parchment paper. We used some construction paper to decorate our tubes. I made one too out of a paper towel roll and added a bell to mine. Once we were done I put on some music and we "played" along. The kids were SUPER in to it and had a great time. We put on a "concert" when Jeff came upstairs and asked him to play along with a shaker. This was a project I thought would be maybe 30 minutes of entertainment but it was over 1.5 hours. I think they will want to play their instruments again too. This was a big win. I wish I had videos but I can't play music for us to play along to and record at the same time so you will have to take my word for it that the kids were making lots of noise and dancing up a storm.
This was much better once I started playing music but like I said, I can't do both.
